TRiumph in Galveston today ?

[Poseidon Patty]

I was on the Conquest that got fogged in overnight. It was in December, 2009, I think. The port finally gave the okay to leave around 2 p.m. the next day, and, as soon as we began our forward motion, the fog got worse again. We got to leave, but it was scary. We couldn't see a thing off our balcony, and there were a lot of fog horns. The Voyager was docked head in, and they couldn't turn around in the fog, so they had to stay docked another night. A lot of people got off and went home. We had a great time, but we lost a port. The captain apologized several times and said that his own family was sailing with us and weren't real happy with him ;)

Looks like she is about to start heading in. The vessel finder shows her with a pilot boat right in front of her. She had gone back out and looked to be heading to the 12 mile line then shortly after was heading back in.

Triumph has a pilot on board and she's headed for port. The ship should dock around midnight...they will probably start disembarkation at the normal time in the morning.

Is there a reason they would not disembark tonight?

There won't be any CBP or longshoremen when they arrive.

[Mrsg324]

I didn't think about that. Makes perfect sense.

[TruckerDave]

It will probably be foggy again Tuesday as well. We are not supposed to get a cold front and push this crap out of here until mid week sometime.

and there will be no passengers to board so it doesn't makes sense to wake everyone up to make them get off the ship.

In Houston the rain is expected tomorrow and should clear the fog. Ideally it gets thru Galveston tomorrow as well.

Wonder how everyone is doing without their luggage for another night.

They got their luggage all back earlier. They are now in port and docked. Just heard from my coworker.

[Jenny in TX]

I live about 30 miles from the Galveston terminal. It is very foggy again this morning. They said on the news this morning that the channel is closed due to fog which isn't expected to lift all day. I'm thinking they will be stuck in Galveston again today.

[Ladysilver]

Heard from my daughter this morning. They stayed at a hotel last night and are excited to see the ship has come in, so they can board later. As for weather or not they'll be able to leave today, we'll have to wait and see if the fog lifts enough for that. :confused:

[Mysticks1]

It doesn't look so bad right now, not like it did yesterday. I hope they get everyone off and back on in time to leave. http://www.galveston.com/cruisecam/

Hope all that have been waiting enjoy the cruise. My sister and I leave next Weds on the Triumph. I hope all this nasty fog is gone by then. Losing a day on a 4 day cruise is a lot!

[yoursurfer]

Any news yet??? We are going on March 10 and this fog needs to stop!!!!

[Razorbakfan]

Had friends on that cruise and was getting some funny texts from them last night such as a toilet paper scavenger hunt, having access to liquor purchased in ports earlier in the cruise, and a perceived shortage of food.

 

They were having fun at least.....I feel for those waiting to board.

Hmm. I don't think that the Triumph is in Galveston next Wed.

You will be sitting there staring at an empty dock :)

 

It leaves this Sat and comes back next Thurs

If the horns I just heard outside my office are any indication, I think the Triumph should be pulling off in the next 20 minutes. It'll pass right by my window. I hope the people aren't too upset

The driveway has been clear for a long time, and a few minutes ago I saw a pilot boat leaving the area by the ship. Fingers crossed they are out of here very soon!

She's pulling away from the pier as I type this

Thanks everyone for your concern! Even though our 5 day trip ended up to be 4 days we had a great time! That Monday was frustrating as we did not know what to do so far as if we should get a hotel or not. We did make the best of it. My daughter and I ended up fishing at the pier. A very nice young male employee offered his assistance if we needed it. Even though we did not take up his offer I did get to tease my husband that I got a phone number. :)

 

We are going to be credited for 1/5 of our cruise and port charges and received OBC for the gratuities.

 

Unfortunately for us and fortunately for the next cruisers the port was clear when came in yesterday. I hope everyone had a great time.

Glad it worked out OK...:)
